From what I see in your pictures, if your caster is good, and all parts seems to have minimal play, I believe the angle between your red and blue lines could cause some issues. That shows 2 different radiuses/arcs that travel different distances as the suspension articulates. Maybe if you get them more parallel/similar to how the original orientation was it might help. If that is the adjustable drag link that came with the power steering kit, I also know those are shorter than the original ones. Bump steer can be hard to isolate.
